No takers on the horizon: HSV trio facing a bleak season?

The departures of the candidates for removal, Bakery Jatta, Silvan Hefti, and Guilherme Ramos, seem to have fallen through. Therefore, HSV is re-planning.

Despite the sportingly complicated start to the season, Hamburger SV cannot complain about one thing: a lack of personnel! Currently, the coaching team has 26 outfield players and four goalkeepers at their disposal. However, for three professionals, the season seems to be over before it has really begun: central defender Gui Ramos, right-back Silvan Hefti, and winger Bakery Jatta have little perspective left at Volkspark.

The club management had already signaled to the trio weeks ago that their future no longer lies with the Rothosen. A departure seemed the only logical solution. But with the closing of most international transfer windows, a move is now almost ruled out. According to Bild information, there is currently no concrete interest even from leagues that are still open.

HSV's unsellable players behave professionally

The newspaper further reports that Ramos, Hefti, and Jatta are likely facing a bleak season: instead of participating in competitive matches, they will probably remain involved as so-called stand-by professionals. Specifically, this means: if everyone is fit, they have to watch the eleven-on-eleven training or complete running programs away from the team. Only if injuries, suspensions, or similar occur, could they be needed at short notice.

At least their professionalism is emphasized by the club. Coach Polzin particularly praises Jatta's behavior, who, despite the difficult situation, always puts himself at the service of the team and was able to make positive contributions in the recent test match against Hannover 96.

In the long term, a return to the professional squad is not ruled out, but it does not currently seem realistic. For the trio, the first Hanseatic Bundesliga season in seven years could thus become a long waiting period without sporting highlights. Because at least until the winter transfer window opens, a departure is almost impossible.
